Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, an immediate past First Lady of Anambra State, has declared her intention to join the contest for the forthcoming Anambra North Senatorial District election.

Few weeks ago she had a altercation with Mrs Bianca Ojukwu in Awka at the inauguration programme of Soludo on March 17, 2022.

The former First Lady, in a statement on Wednesday, divulged this to journalists in Awka, stating that she would serve to empower the poor and needy, especially women and children.

She also rendered an apology to the Governor, Charles Soludo, Ndigbo and friends of Ndigbo over the feud between her and Bianca.

She said, “My interest to join the senatorial race is in response to an overwhelming pressure and calls from my people to represent them in the Senate at the National Assembly in Abuja. As has been attested to by the good people of Anambra State, service to people, humanity and sharing love and putting smiles on sad faces are my priority in life, and I know that it is the will of God because the Bible says that God is love."

“Therefore, having witnessed and been positively touched by my ever willing disposition to care for people, empower the poor and needy, especially women and children, particularly widows, orphans and the destitute, my people decided that I should come and serve them better in a higher capacity.”

“As a peaceful person that I am well known for, violence has never been in my character and I am grateful to several elders, statesmen, friends and associates of the Obianos, as well as countless number of good people of Anambra State who called and expressed their concerns and offered wise counsels and words of comfort after the unfortunate drama.”

As stated earlier, Mrs Obiano, in a letter addressed to Soludo titled, ‘A public apology.' Conveyed her apology for the confrontation between her and Mrs Bianca Ojukwu.

She wrote, “Permit me to use this medium to humbly convey to you my sincere, heartfelt and unreserved apology for the unfortunate incident between Mrs Bianca Ojukwu and myself on Thursday, March 17, 2022, the day of your inauguration as the new Executive Governor of Anambra State in which you took over from my husband, His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano."

“The incident, to say the least, was most unnecessary, unfortunate and I regret my action. It was an unintended action as violence is never in my character. Your Excellency, Sir, I hold your person, your ideals, the records of your great accomplishments in public service in Nigeria and beyond, as well as their concomitant colossal impacts in public policies in the highest esteem.

“All those who know me can testify that before and throughout my eight years as the First Lady of State, I pursued peace, promoted philanthropic gestures which empowered many of our less privileged people. No excuse can therefore be tenable as justification for such public embarrassment, no matter the height of provocation. Equally, I wish to extend the same apology to all the important dignitaries, the people of Anambra State, as well as the entire Ndigbo for that unintended embarrassment at the occasion.”
